Staff & location were wonderful! I would have rated higher but we had to change rooms because shower knobs were old and unable to turn due to overcaulking. A very old building that needs a little more refurbishing. Also toilets should be replaced, and consistant, one was so low in one room, the other room was more than doubled in height, I would also suggest grab bars in the bathrooms along with bath mat for safety. Had to put a towel down on bath because it was so slippery. Very dangerous! A few more amenities and newer towels would help.
